When a consumer has any type of warranty issue or safety issue serviced by their local nissan dealer, is nissan north america required to report the issue to NHTSA?

Nissan just released a customer initiative letter pertaining to the automatic emergency braking system that states the system may activate on its own causing the vehicle to stop suddenly. Nissan apparently has a fix for it but it has to happen first. This system already had a program update applied to it and the system still deactivated itself after driving.
